Active Recombinant Human CSF2 Protein (Ala18-Glu144), GMP Grade, Animal-Free

• Cat.No.: CSF2-31HG
• Product Overview: GMP recombinant human GM-CSF protein (Ala18-Glu144) without tag was expressed in E. coli, produced in an Animal-Free laboratory and manufactured and tested under cGMP guidelines.

Specification

• Description: The protein encoded by this gene is a cytokine that controls the production, differentiation, and function of granulocytes and macrophages. The active form of the protein is found extracellularly as a homodimer. This gene has been localized to a cluster of related genes at chromosome region 5q31, which is known to be associated with interstitial deletions in the 5q- syndrome and acute myelogenous leukemia. Other genes in the cluster include those encoding interleukins 4, 5, and 13. This gene plays a role in promoting tissue inflammation. Elevated levels of cytokines, including the one produced by this gene, have been detected in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients that develop acute respiratory distress syndrome. Mice deficient in this gene or its receptor develop pulmonary alveolar proteinosis.
